another resident of Route 2.5, Orient,' also read a prepared statement expressing her
opposition to the scenic designation and to bicycle lanes' when Route 25 is

for a Zoning Use Chart which is being formulated by Planner Melissa Spiro and Site
,Plan Reviewer Bob Kassner on their own time. It would cost about $185.00 to put
it in a proofable form by a printer. Councilman Wickham offered to put the chart
on the agenda for the -Planning S Zoning Committee so the Building Department,
Board of Appeals and Planning Board will all have input. (2) Memorandum from .
Site Plan Reviewer Kassner requesting the Town Board to extend the fence recently
erected on Fishers Island for tennis courts to the northeast side of the basketball
courts as a safety precaution due to .a site plan by Fishers Island Development Corp. .
that calls for parking on the north side of the basketball court. A message will be
sent to Mr. Kassner that the basketball courts -belong to the Fishers Island School
District and. he should redirect his request to the district and/or FIDCO. (3)

to. the Town Board The Hartford for the Town's Deferred Compensation Plan. She
will request The Hartford to prepare the ' necessary . contracts for the Board's

ask the Town Board to consider the recommendation of the Commerce & Industry
Committee to extend the amnesty on temporary signs until the sign provisions of the
Zoning Code are revised. Tom Samuels and Victor Brown, members of the.
Stewardship Task Force who are working with the Commerce & Industry Committee.,-
are close to submitting their recommendations for amendments. Councilwoman Hussie
said that she did not approve of the initial amnesty, but agreed to the limited time
which was is May 4th to July 3rd, but she is opposed to any further extension.

Senior Building Inspector Curtis Horton to meet with them at this time, and he said

agenda to' extend the amnesty period for another 60 days. (6) Councilman Wickham
proposed the Town Board's support of the designation of Route 25 from Greenport
to Orient as a scenic highway, subject to the provision that no actions taken
pursuant to this designation would limit the property rights of land owners along
the highway. Supervisor Harris advised that the Town cannot dictate conditions

Commerce S Industry Committee that specific standardized off-premises directional
signs be permitted on Town sign posts. He said he had discussed with

no more than three signs per post. Councilman Wickham suggested that the Board
wait for the sign ordinance regulation recommendations from the Commerce 6 Industry
Committee before beginning this project. Councilman Penny asked that the approval
for the directional signs be put on the agenda for a resolution (no. 26) , and Council-

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, a motion to go into recess for a couple of
minutes. I have another meeting, that I have to attend, so Deputy Supervisor
George Penny will be running the meeting from this point on.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY Before we entertain a motion to recess, because
believe five public hearings. I'd just like to explain Scott's absence at this time.
He's in the middle of a delicate situation, where the hospital negotiations have been
ongoing, and there is talk of a proposed strike at Eastern Long Island -Hospital
tomorrow. The parties are meeting in R.iverhead this evening, and Scott is going
to be there on behalf of the Town to encourage the parties not to enter into
negotiations, but to encourage the parties to continue to talk until this is resolved,
so that hospital services will remain throughout in the Town of Southold. So, I
believe, that we would all join together, and wish him good luck on that venture.
Can I entertain a motion, please, for the public hearing?
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED that a recess. be called at this time, 8:00 P.M., for the purpose of
holding a public hearing.
Vote of the :Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Councilman .Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
Meeting reconvened at 8:35 P.M.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: We'll return to our regular hearing. '`tie Town
Board will review the comments that were made on these local laws, and we'll deal
with them at the .next Work Session. I- believe that's the last of our resolutions.
At this time, we open our meeting to the public.. If there's someone from the public
that would like to speak to the Town Board on any matter, come forward to the
microphones, identify themselves,. and proceed.
MICHAEL CROTEAU : My name is Michael Croteau, and I live at 1450 South Harbor
Road. Myself and a number of other concerned residents had a little discussion
with the Planning Board yesterday here. I didn't figure we'd keep you guys up
late tonight, so I'm here alone. It's about something the Planning Board currently
on their desk relating to the property of the Stepnoski farm across the street from
where I live between Bayview Road and South Harbor Road. � It's a plan that has
been put on the Planning Board's desk about a lot of sensitivity to the rest of
the surrounding area. The developer, and the people from the Planning Board,
are telling us that it's there, and it's configured the way it is, which is basically
eight lots on a train track scenario. straight down South Harbor Road, and it's ,
going to have 100 foot wide lots. They're saying that's it's configured that way
because that there's Town water there, and so it's the most feasible way for the
developer to do it. Under the Zoning laws the houses are clustered, because it
is a parcel over ten acres, and and it fits within this cluster concept, that leaves the
rest of twelve acres open. There are a number of people in the community, myself
included, that feel that it's not a plan that has any merit at all. I'm sure you're
.going to be' seeing it soon. The last subdivision, that was done. on South Harbor
Road happens to be the estate of George Wells. When they subdivided that farm
the Town-, saw fit to make that subdivided. _ The family,. individuals not developers,
that are in this business to make money, bring Town water down that road. My
wife and I paid a little bit of that fee through eventually purchasing the Howell
Farm. That water brought down the road allowed that family to subdivide the
farm, and a few lots on the side. I think that looking at this cluster zone we.
160 JUNE 29, 1993
have to look this subdivider., and say that, that piece of property should be
developed in a manner that 'is most feasible to the surrounding area, the
surrounding environment, the people that live in Southold Town, that they're
going to be exposed to this train track of houses; that's proposed to run down
South Harbor Road, and it shouldn't be at the convenience of Town water for the
developer.' We're making conceptions for somebody who is the business of developing
land, and allowing this plan to be considered, because he has water there. I say
that a plan be submitted to the Planning Board, that puts the houses at a more
advantageous place on that property allows more of the open space used for more
angles, and let the developer .pull Town water into wherever he's got to brine it
into, to make that plan work for the community, for the environment, and for
everyone other than just the developer. I'm standing up here at the expense of
Nor. Edwards calling me a nimby,again. It's not necessarily my own backyard. It
happens to be my frontyard, but I'd be doing this if anybody's backyard. I think
it's a bad idea, and a bad .idea in my backyard, your backyard, or anybody else's
backyard is a bad idea. I think the cluster zone is something that is going to
come under a lot of fire from a number of people in the community. . I think that
it's the tail wagging the dog to let an underground pipe of water decide. how
17 acres of land in such a critical. location in this town is going to be developed;
and I want to go on record tonight to say*that this something that we're going
to be seeing coming up, and I sure that there will be a public hearing on it at
some point. We've gone on record with the Planning Board resubmitting some other
plans for the Planning Board to take a look at, and I'm here tonight to just voice
my opinion on it.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: I would just like to clear up one thing. This matter
is not before this Board. This Town Board does not enter into discussion on matters,
that are before the Planning Board. The Planning Board will be dealing with this.
They are an independent Board, that is established just to handle these applications
of subdivision. There's a whole section of the Code relating to it. So the Town
Board is hamstrung by our laws to get involved in this process. Rather than tell
you right at the very beginning of this, I knew you had something to say and
don't believe there's any conflict in listening to you. However,- we can not enter
into this. There is a .process by which all sides are heard, and that is 'through
the planning process, "and there will be a public hearing where both sides of this
issue can be heard, and that is the proper place to address this. The Town Board
does not enter into these.
MICHAEL CROTEAU: The public hearing is not before the Town Board?
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: No. The public hearing is not before the Town
Board. This is not a 'Town Board matter.
MICHAEL CROTEAU: As far as any questions about the cluster zone line, as it
stands now, is that something that would come before the Town Board ever?
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: As the relate to this specific matter, no. As they
relate to the cluster provision in a Town Code, yes, I believe that clustering is
mandated, as per our Master Plan on parcels of ten acres or more in the A-C and
. 11-80 Tones.
MICHAEL CROTEAU: I am 'here tonight to go on record stating that the point
that the cluster zone mandate comes an• issue, if that were down the road, I want
to stand here, and speak my mind on this.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: If it becomes an issue, you'll be welcome. Is there
anyone else from the audience, that would speak at this time? Ruth?
RUTH OLIVA: I'm Ruth Oliva. Joe, it didn't come to my attention until just a
few minutes ago, but when approved Resolution #24 extending the .sign amnesty
for 60 days. I think you should have excused yourself because you have an
already existing temporary sign, so this really affects you positively, and I don't.
think you should have voted for or against it. Thank you.
JUNE 29, T993 1 6 1,.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: Is there anyone else from the audience, that would
like to speak at this time? (No response.) Is there anyone from the Town Board,
that would like to make any comments at this time?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Yes, I have a comment. In the interest of truth in
public debate, George, 'I have a small award I'd like to make to you tonight. It's
actually the award of Pinocchio. I'm not sure if people in the audience know
who Pinocchio is. Pinocchio is a person who is, actually a small statute here, who's
nose grew longer with each falsehood, that he uttered. George, this is for you.
I give it to you as an award for tonight. You've earned it with a statement that
last Tuesday's formal meeting, Work Session of the Town Board, basically misrepre-
senting my views by 180 degrees on the scenic roads designation. Pts yours.
Thank you.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: Is there anybody else from the Town Board?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: We've got a couple of minutes here. On Fishers Island I
think we're going to call this week cooperation week. Monday, . yesterday, Albany
Department of Motor Vehicles sent two technicians, a lady and a man, down from,
Albany with a computer equipment to photo• image all of the drivers on Fishers
Island. The lobstermen on the Island cooperated by putting up enough lobsters
for a dinner last night. The restaurant on the island cooperated by cooking the
lobsters. The American Legion cooperated by donating the hall to set this up.
The Fishers Island Telephone Company cooperated by moving a couple of telephone
lines around, one for the data system, and one for a call outline. John Clavin,
our Bay Constable, and his wife Peg, donated their summer cottage for lodgings
for the people. The DMV, I called them up this evening, they did fifty licenses
yesterday between about three o'clock and six, and as of five o'clock this evening,
they have done over 100, and they plan to do at least twenty-five more. They're
going to be on the island tomorrow. I have a press release, tha.t I will give to
the press, explaining this program of what they're going to be doing. They're
going to be.going around later this year, or next year, to the various shopping
centers, and people can go in there, and renew their licenses, and do it right
there without having to wait in line. These image photos, that they're taking are
going to- be in the computer for ten years, and if anyone wants to 'see some pictures,
I've got some pictures here, that were taken yesterday at the American Legion
Hall with the Department of Motor Vehicles people doing their job. They were well
accepted at Fishers Island, 'and due to the geography involved, the residents of
Fishers Island would have to take a day off to go to either White Plains, or
Riverhead, and the transportation costs would be close to $50.00 to, go on, and
off, the island., plus the lose of a day's pay. You'll see in the press release that
I- told the Department of Motor Vehicles, that this program that they have now
was definitely designed for Fishers Island. It's a big, big help to us. Thank you,
George.
DEPUTY- SUPERVISOR PENNY: Any other Councilpeople at this time? (No response.)
Before I close I'd like to take the opportunity to respond to Councilman Wickham
with an award for the Councilman. Tom, I would like to present you with Southold's
first Susan Lucci Award. Why Susan Lucci you might ask? Susan Lucci has been
active in soap operas for fourteen years, and failed to receive an award that was
worthy of her recognition. She newr got an Emmy. In less than three years, Tom,
you have far surpassed the acheivements of Susan Lucci by turning the Town
Board meetings into bi-weekly soap operas.' This pitcher is presented to you,
Tom, so you can keep pouring it on. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Thank you, George. We can pour cold water on the
proceedings tonight. Thank you very much. •I'm pleased to have it.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: At this point in the meeting, I think a motion to
adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby. is adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Councilman Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
